Ooh - I bet that's pretty!!I tried to do quilting (with patterns), have done a Crazy Quilt (finished one an aunt of mine started) but I just couldn't do quilting well. Crazy Quilting was more fun - with the embroidery I used.

I HOPE it'll be pretty!!! this is the first quilting i've ever done - always wanted to learn and am having great FUN with that!!!!! Crazy Quilting, well, sounds like something i would enjoy!!!!! lolol

Guess I was lucky Laura!! In 6th Grade I had to take an embroidery and needlepoint class all year at school (then, I did NOT like it!!) - so in later years I got into counted cross stitch & I still use embroidery! Plus - I have a book that shows stitches & gives me ideas for the quilt.

ROXANE MALLAND --- I came home to having the kit from you - LOVE the colors! I've not used the colors you sent, so these will be FUN to do up!!! and the one ribbon - oh that is pretty!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

C HIEBERT: your kit was also in my mail waiting for me -- how did you EVER guess i'm a Magnolia fan??!!! and i just LOVE pink and green together - YUMMY!!!! Did you make the flowers - i've not seen them and i think they are GORGEOUS!!!

Glad it arrived safe and sound!~ I can't remember which flowers I sent but regardless I didn't make them- wish I could though! I also love Magnolia stamps and they are one of my go-to's when I am in the mood to color!

You were lucky! Now I did get into counted cross stitch for a while - but I'm more the "instant gratification" type of crafter...so after working for an hour and only having a little bit done with a TTTOOOOOONNNN more to do - I just had to give up that craft. But I think they are so beautiful when they are completed!!

I started doing counted cross stitch when I was in high school. I belonged to the embroidery guild for a while and learned about LOTS of forms of embroidery I didn't know exsisted. I LOVE hardanger, but haven't done any quite some time. I found a few UFO's when I was rearranging my sewing room recently.

WOW!! I used Aida 18 as the smallest thread count for counted cross stitch, I never could use Hardanger (22 or more spaces to the inch).My favorite was Aida 14. And I even worked on a bedspread that was on Aida 6 - those were larger stitches, & easier to find places to stitch!

Yes, she's the new addition. No worries on the "he". The green color isn't very girly, although I will point out that it's the green "girl" M&M. However, at this age, even when she's dressed in her girly yellow sweater and pink hat, people ask me whether it's a boy or girl. I gotta get that hair to grow in!

uh oh.....a little different huh? now i don't know if i'm excited, or worried!!!!

LOL...I don't know which you should be either...I think it's one of those that you'll either love it or go what the heck was she thinking...why on earth would she think I'd like this! me personally, I really dig the images...I think they are fun! it was a new set of images I got at stamp fest and Hadn't had a chance to ink any of the images yet, and I just got that paper and though, hum...this kinda work together. If you do like I'd be happy to ink more images if you'd want. even if you don't like the images I still think you'll have fun with it! I actually carried the kit around for a couple of days before I mailed and almost did something different, but decided not to.

I cant think of any requests at the moment, sometimes i have a hard time coming up with masculine ideas, so that could be kinda cool, but there isnt much i dont like so whatever your in the mood to make!!!
